And even if you use a clever password you might be giving it to someone who has never heard of password hashing/salting etc (but I'm sure they "care about your privacy")

Hence why I prefer "not great/not bad" passwords to sites that wouldn't have a significant impact on my privacy

Why not use a password manager? You're just taking on risk by subjectively evaluating which sites can be trusted with a clever password.

I do use one. Doesn't mean that I want all my passwords to be an annoyingly long sequence of random letters and symbols
